Israel is establishing a special military tribunal with the power to prosecute and "legally" execute the alleged perpetrators of the October 7 attacks. Despite the law being more extreme than Ben-Gvir's death penalty legislation, it was supported by nearly all of the Israeli "opposition".

The only way the law is less extreme is that the defendants will at least be allowed to appeal.

The decision to impose the death penalty will not have to be unanimous. Death penalty panels can consist of three judges instead of five.

Since this is a special military tribunal, the legislation will allow mass trials that deviate from standard evidentiary rules It grants broad judicial discretion to admit coerced confessions.

"Rape", kidnapping, and looting will also be capital offenses, because they will be defined as "crimes against the Jewish people", crimes against humanity and war crimes.
